About the Book: Sense and Sensibility
Jane Austen wrote the original draft of `Sense and Sensibility` around 1795 at
the age of 19, and published it in 1811. This classic tale takes place in
southwest England and follows the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, who are
reduced to meager means when their father passes and entrusts his fortune to
their half brother, John. Sensible, restrained Elinor seems to have found a
kindred spirit in Edward Ferrars, while the impetuous, romantic Marianne falls
hard for the dashing Willoughby. But each man has a secret that may destroy the
relationship. Will the sisters find happiness--or betrayal? Now available
